Walking the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Lugo (or maybe even Santiago)

[SOS]

Make sure your feet are conditioned for hard surface walking. There's not a lot near major roads like on some of the other Camino's but there are stretches of concrete on tracks and also very hard cobbles!!!

Yes I definitely will do that, thanks for the tip!

That toe does look painful. Alcohol taken internally may help.

My brother is at Totana at the moment and reports seeing stone curlews outside the site. They've also done some strenuous cycling by the sound of it.

Cycling? You remember cycling? Kinder on the feet.

Yes there are Stone Curlews about.

Cycling ... that may have been part of the problem. Too much of that and not enough walking (after Norway) to recondition my feet. Add to that carrying a rucksack and it equalled trouble.

Only myself to blame, I suppose.
